CBS and ABC to stream free iPad content

The Wall Street Journal reports that CBS and ABC are preparing to stream selected television content to the iPad. The networks will adopt a model similar to traditional broadcast television, with the shows being free and ad-supported. CBS plans to stream their content directly to the Safari browser while ABC will use a separate ABC Player iPad application. CBS plans to have full episodes of its reality series “Survivor” available by Saturday from its web site as well as promotional clips of several other shows. [via Mac Rumors]
